How To Add An Edittext To A Listview

I'm looking to read some product details in from a database and then add them to a ListView. I then want on each line a qty EditText box where customer can add a qty in. How can

Solution 1:

Okay so the first thing you will need to do is create a Row.xml file for the layout that you want each row in the list to have..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayoutxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:orientation="horizontal"
><ImageViewandroid:id="@+id/icon"android:padding="2dip"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:src="@drawable/ok"
/><TextViewandroid:id="@+id/label"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:textSize="40sp"
/>
//Add a edittext here..
/LinearLayout>

Next you will need to extends listview and override get view to load in your custom row.

publicclassDemoextendsListActivity {

@OverridepublicvoidonCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
setListAdapter(newAdapter());}

//Here extends a ArrayAdapter to create your custom viewclassAdapterextendsArrayAdapter<String> {
Adapter() {
super(DynamicDemo.this, R.layout.row, R.id.label, items);
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView,
ViewGroup parent) {
//Here load in your views such as the edittext

}

Thats what you will need to get started you can then call onItemListClick() to get each click when the user clicks the item.

EDIT:

Also if you want to save the number in the quantity box you will need to have a Bundle. Such as saveState() method

This will save your users quantity number while the app is still alive, and when brought back into view pull the number or int from the bundle.

This should be of help
